NASHVILLE - The temperature is hot and so is Powerball, with a $103 million jackpot that is generating excitement among a growing number of Lottery enthusiasts.

“Just think what $103 million could add to a summer vacation!” said President and CEO Rebecca Paul Hargrove. “We haven’t had a jackpot over $100 million since March, and a prize of this size brings out lots of excited people who normally don’t play.”

As with all the Tennessee Lottery’s games, profits from ticket sales are used to fund education programs in the state.

In addition to the incredible Powerball jackpot, the Lottery’s Lotto 5 game has a grand prize estimated at $250,000 for its drawing Wednesday night.
